“FUN??? There
is more in Mambulao … Yan Man!!! Mambulao”.
Still clueless?
Well, this is
the slogan that will push the tourism program of Mambulao, a brainchild of
Mayor Ricarte Padilla.
Piggy-backing
on the popularity of the Department of Tourism's slogan "It's More Fun in
the Philippines", the promo blitz will begin this February in a bid to
attract local tourists to the municipality’s tourism destinations such as the
Pag-asa beach and the Calalanay Island.
It will also
launch an “international surfing competition” this year as a major come-on
under the program.
All this was
revealed by Padilla at a meeting with the officers of the Jose Panganiban High National High school Alumni Association
(JPNHSAA) and LaPIMa (Laking PIM Ako) last Friday in Makati City.
The mayor was
in Metro Manila on official business which gave him a chance to meet the two
group’s officers.
The beach in
Pag-asa is now undergoing a major facelift in time for the summer vacation when
locals usually flock to this place for a swim.
This included
among others the improvement of the public toilet facilities and beach
cottages.
Calalanay
Island, which continuously draws scuba divers and snorkelers from around the
province and other places would be the centerpiece of the promo.
The resort
island is known for its powdery sand and crystar-clear water which is ideal for
snorkeling and scuba diving
Padilla said
that he will try to speed up the cementing of the roads at Pag-asa to make it
more convenient for visitor to come to the place.
Last summer,
Pag-asa beach attracted many Mambulaoans who are based overseas and elsewhere
in the Philippines.
